Bio/Research

Gordon Kaufman is the Morris A. Adelman Professor of Management, Emeritus and a Professor of Statistics at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Kaufman is a petroleum industry expert. He has a long-standing interest in Bayesian econometrics and multivariate analysis as well as in risk analysis of complex strategic problems. Kaufman’s current research interest is how to appraise uncertainties within large systems whose components are logically related in complex ways—such as global climate change models and their impacts, nuclear reactor fault trees, and Bayesian networks—when experts provide incomplete information about these uncertainties.

Kaufman holds a BS in industrial engineering and electrical engineering from Yale University and an MBA and a DBA from Harvard University.
